[Rhapture]

One sunny morning, Quintus Annius Milo made an appearance at the Villa of the Caecilii Metellii. He wished to speak with Quintus.

Milo is shown into Quintus Caecilius Metellus study, where Quintus is busy working on his estate files. A bowl of dates sits on the corner of the desk.

Gaius Furius Sulpicianus arrives to speak to Quintus

Sulpicianus is shown into Quintus's Study. Quintus stands with his back to the room, gazing out his window to the inner courtyard. The Steward Lito coughs and announces the praetor's presence.

Turning, Quintus looks stoically and recognizes the face. "Ave , Gauis. Won't you come and sit down? " He gestures toward the seat .

Milo is shown into Quintus Caecilius Metellus study, where Quintus is busy working on his estate files. A bowl of dates sits on the corner of the desk.

Milo looked around, studying the room and the man, before sitting down.

"Ave, Metellus. What are you working on?"

[Pontifex Maximus]

Gaius took his seat. "Hello, Quintus. Is now a good time to discuss some issues regarding next year's elections?"

[Rhapture]

Gaius took his seat. "Hello, Quintus. Is now a good time to discuss some issues regarding next year's elections?"

Quintus sat as well then sighed. "Yes it is. A welcome change of topic from lost battles and assassinations."
"I have water here if you like, they will bring in wine in a minute I am sure." He pointed to a bowl of dates on the desk. "Have at those too if you fancy them."

[Pontifex Maximus]

Gaius waited on the wine. "Well,Quintus. I am sure you've gathered I intend to stand for the Pro-praetorship of Sicily, should these measures pass. I think that they will, it is not a very controversial political move. But there are other actions I must support as well, and do other things as well. Tell me, do you wish to run next year?"

[Rhapture]

"Sicily, eh? " Quintus raised an eyebrow. "Not many riches to be had there, but it always needs a firm hand"
"Yes I had planned on running again for Praetor. This year was not meant to be, but there are always things for a resourceful Roman to do." The wine arrived and he poured himself a goblet. "Watered down?" He asked.

"Am I also interested in continuing my family tradition of pontiffs."

"Am I also interested in continuing my family tradition of pontiffs."

"A bit." Gaius replied as he allowed the water to be poured into his wine glass. "I could support your bid for praetor easily enough, if you support my measures for the provinces - of which there are many in this coming year."

[Rhapture]

"A bit." Gaius replied as he allowed the water to be poured into his wine glass. "I could support your bid for praetor easily enough, if you support my measures for the provinces - of which there are many in this coming year."

"I will support you for Sicily. Are you sure you don't want a more prestigious province? The consuls might be needed again in this Italian affair, so you might have a chance at say, Macedonia. It is always good for a raid of the tribes of the Danube."
Quintus probed.

Quintus probed.

"Quite sure." Gaius said with a smile. "I hold no ambitions of being an influential provincial governor. I love Rome, and I do not desire to be removed from it for very long. Though, I think my friend Sulla takes the opposite approach." he said with a mirthless laugh. "I wish to return to Rome as quickly as possible." Sulpicianus coughed. "What will you require in return?"

[Rhapture]

"Ah! Ave Quintus." He looks up. " oh I have just recently acquired some new land and just some notes on what is being planted and new slaves being used." He replied.

"Would you like any refreshments?" He motions towards the dates and a half empty jug of wine.

[Pinkerton]

"Ah! Ave Quintus." He looks up. " oh I have just recently acquired some new land and just some notes on what is being planted and new slaves being used." He replied.

"Would you like any refreshments?" He motions towards the dates and a half empty jug of wine.

"It would be rude to refuse your hospitality" Said Milo with a smile and grabed a date.

"I've come not only to eat your food and drink your wine, Metellus. I'm already thinking of next year and the race for the magistracies."

[Rhapture]

"I see." Quintus gave a small smile.
"And how can I be of assistance with this?" he queried.

[Pinkerton]

"I see." Quintus gave a small smile.
"And how can I be of assistance with this?" he queried.

"It is no secret that I wish to be Consul. Theoretically, Cotta, Albinus, Sulpicianus, Regulus and Sulla will support by bid for the Consulship. In practice, I need more allies, while not necessarily more votes. And thus I've come to your house, Quintus, to offer such a thing."

"Consul ? Big Ambitions." Quintus was mildly surprised and he hoped he didn't show it. The Annia Milii had not had an illustrious history.
"I am also seeking election this year, for praetor, and I will need support. Last year was a big disappointment." he conceded.

"I can certainly support your candidacy for praetor, in fact I would be pleased to do so. Can I expect you to do the same in regards of my aspirations?"
